1.00 cup, Cottage cheese

BETTER-WITH-BUTTERMILK DIP 1 cup buttermilk 2 cups mayonnaise 1 cup sour cream or yogurt 1 envelope Ranch style dressing mix Stir together and chill.
For use as salad dressing, substitute a second cup of buttermilk for the sour cream or yogurt.
Hint: Use cucumber ""coins" instead of crackers.
OTHER QUICK DIPPIES that make up in small quantities: * Blend 1/3 to 1/2 of a mashed banana with 2 or 3 tsps of mayonnaise.
* Whipe together 1 tsp of smooth peanut butter with 1 tsp of mayonnaise.
If still too thick, add a few drops of milk.
* Mix 1/2 tsp of lemon juice and 1/2 tsp of honey or sugar to 1 or 2 tsp of mayonnaise.
CUTTING UP WITH KIDS Have your children help you cut up green onions, parsley, lettuce, cheese slices, fruit, etc.
, using a scissors instead of a knife.
Using a scissors helps coordination (YES!) and keeps them busy for a _long_ time! CHERRY BALLS Stuff whole (or half) cherry tomatoes with cream cheese, a cheese spread, egg salad or tuna salad.
Actually thinking of snacks as hors d'oeuvres - rather than desserts - will open up a whole new way of looking at this category.
